The Dow swung more than 1,000 points points on Tuesday to recover 48 percent of Monday's losses.

The Dow Jones Industrial average opened with a drop lower, then rallied all the way up. The index closed 567.02 points higher at 24,912.77, but not before hitting a session low of 23,778.74, down 567.01 points, and then surging more than 600 points.

The Dow has traveled more than 1,000 points points in a day before — in 2008, 2010, 2015 and yesterday, to be precise — but never before has the Dow been both up and down more than 500 points in one session.

In fact, the Dow's wild swings meant the index traveled close to an incredible 5,500 points on Tuesday. That's on top of the 5,100 points traveled on Monday.

All three major indexes regained value after Monday's losses, but they still have a ways to go before they fully recover.
